I'm totally new to Linux (especially Fedora). I've downloaded the rpm version of Crossover and installed it:
rpm -i crossover-standard-demo-7.1.0-1.i386.rpm
I received the following errors:
error: Failed dependencies:
ld-linux.so.2 is needed by crossover-standard-demo-7.1.0-1.i386
libICE.so.6 is needed by crossover-standard-demo-7.1.0-1.i386

libm.so.6 is needed by crossover-standard-demo-7.1.0-1.i386

So I read up and people told me that I should update my libraries. So I did this, just my libX11 through a Transaction Check Error at the end.
I tried it again and received the the same problems.
Could anyone help?
And please, I'm new to Linux (so I know nothing), so please explain as good as you can.
it looks like you're probably using a 64-bit edition of Fedora 10, and that what you need are the 32-bit versions of all of those libraries. Crossover is a 32-bit application, and our rpm installer for the current release doesn't do a very good job of pulling down the necessary dependencies on its own (the rpm installer for the upcoming Crossover 8.0 will fix this problem).
I think the easiest thing for you to do is to install wine through yum. The wine installation will bring with it all (or almost all) of the necessary 32-bit libraries that Crossover will need. You can find wine by opening a terminal and entering
$ yum search wine
Once wine is successfully installed, try installing Crossover from the .rpm installer, again.
Oh, damm. I'm so stupid. Yes. I have a 64bit version. And thats way nothing wants to install.
